ORCHARD LEIGH Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four ORCHARD LEIGH sales between March 1998 and November 2016 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the April 2013 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the November 2016 sale, which was also at 16% below the HPI.

What might ORCHARD LEIGH be worth now?

ORCHARD LEIGH might now be worth an estimated £387,353.

This is based on house price inflation of 35.9%, between November 2016 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Somerset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 35.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ORCHARD LEIGH of £285,000 on 21st November 2016. For the value to have increased from £285,000 to £387,353 over the nine years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ORCHARD LEIGH has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The November 2016 sale price of £285,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ORCHARD LEIGH has not materially changed since November 2016.
